"Shopkeeper Qi, why do you have to belittle yourself?" Xiao Ding smiled and said, "When I was in Xuzhai, there were dozens of people present. Who didn't know that your eyes were like torch, and you could see clearly and tell the truth at one glance."

"Uh?" Qi Xiang was stunned: "It's exaggerating."

"Not exaggerating at all." Xiao Ding explained: "Shopkeeper Qi, you left early at that time and didn't hear the praises of those masters. They felt that your level was almost the same as theirs."

"There is even a master who says that they can still suppress you by relying on experience now. If you have experienced it in a few years, you should suppress them by the other side."

Xiao Ding said respectfully: "Shopkeeper Qi, listen. Even if everyone doubts you, you must believe the evaluations of the masters."

After hearing this, Qi Xiang felt quite complicated. After a moment of silence, she sighed: "That is the masters who are both virtuous and skillful, and are helping younger generations. Don't believe it..."

"Does it be believed? Everyone knows it." Xiao Ding smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Qi, I'll just say it. The person who asked you to help me is willing to give you 50,000 yuan in carriage and horse money first, and after reading the painting, he will give you a red envelope of 500,000 yuan."

"This is the master's market, and I'm very kind." Xiao Ding whispered: "Shopkeeper Qi, if you have time, you'd better go there. Why don't you make money if you have money, right?"

"Well..." Qi Xiang pondered for a while and asked, "Where are you going? Are you in the local area or outside?"

"Outside, but not far away." Xiao Ding said hurriedly: "It's in Wuxi!"

Wuxi, known as Liangxi, is one of the important cities around Taihu Lake, and is known as the pearl of Taihu Lake.

Since ancient times, Wuxi has been a very prosperous, wealthy and developed city. It is known as Bu Wharf, Qian Wharf, Kiln Wharf, Silk City, and Mi City. It is also a national cultural and historical city.

Under Xiao Ding's carriage, Qi Xiang came to Wuxi. To be precise, she came to Wuxi City, a vast tea garden farm with endless mountains.

Xiao Ding whispered: "One hundred thousand tea mountains and thousands of tea farmers have formed a complete industrial chain from picking to processing and then to sales..."

"Please look at the paintings, the biggest tea merchant in Wuxi... Young Master, Zhu Qiao!"

Xiao Ding whispered: "This Young Master Zhu, together with Zhu Shen, the only son of another wealthy man in Wuxi City, is known as Da Zhu Xiao Zhu, Wuxi Shuang...help, the two heroes."

"Anyway, this Master Zhu... has a good reputation, but his personality is a little... impatient and has an anxious temper. If he hits you later, Manager Qi, please give in to him..."

Xiao Ding got a vaccination: "Shopkeeper Qi, if you don't look at monks and Buddha's faces, you should be very grateful for money."

Xiao Ding didn't know why he said this.

After all, Qi Xiang is also a foodie in this industry, so when welcoming and seeing each other, we must be very familiar with the worldly style, and he doesn't need to repeatedly advise and remind.

Xiao Ding felt very confused, but he accidentally glanced at Qi Xiang and immediately realized.

After not seeing each other for a while, he felt that Qi Xiang seemed to have changed. Although the person is still the same person, his temperament is completely different from before.

Xiao Ding suddenly felt that Qi Xiang was no longer a worldly and versatile antique dealer, but a noble man like Mr. Hai and Mr. Tian Shi, who had a very background, made him feel that he could not be offended.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ding also felt strange. Could it be that after a person has money, his temperament can change quickly?

Xiao Ding was puzzled. At this moment, the two of them also came to the gate of the tea house and saw the guards who were guarding each other. He immediately stopped talking tactfully and showed a bright smile.

"Hello, two brothers, we are guests called by Mr. Zhu. Please inform me."

Xiao Ding looked at the big wolf dogs at the door, and his legs suddenly became weak. If it weren't for the fierce wolf dog being locked on the iron gate railing by a strong iron chain, he wouldn't have dared to get close to half a step.

Perhaps because he had received the order, a security guard looked at the two of them and opened the door and let them go.

"You guys go in." The security guard pointed: "Young master is on the mountain, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"oh……"

When Xiao Ding heard this, he hurriedly greeted Qi Xiang in a low voice and hurriedly walked up the mountain.

The tea house is large, with a stretch of buildings, covering four or five hills. One by one, either simple, elegant and unique, or magnificent houses, distributed according to the mountain shape and terrain, forms the current large-scale building complex.

Many tea farmers live in this complex.

These tea farm houses are surrounded by a luxurious villa, like stars holding the moon, as solid as a soup.

Qi Xiang walked and watched, thinking that the owner of this tea shop was too smart. He managed his own territory like a fortress. If someone had bad intentions, he would definitely not hide and be surrounded by the general public.

After walking for half an hour, the two of them arrived at the luxurious villa on the top of the mountain.

The villa has no walls, it is surrounded by a circle of low fence vines, and even the door is not locked, and the door is open.

The villa is in the Western form, but it is full of Chinese style.

There are five steps at the gate, and there is a majestic stone lion on each side.

The lion is full of teeth and claws, very domineering.

Under the eaves, two big red lanterns were hung. In addition, on the vermilion-colored door, dense copper nails were inlaid with metallic shimmering...

All arrangements are no different from those of the ancient wealthy families.

The villa structure that combines Chinese and Western cultures does not appear vulgar, but instead gives people the impression that both the elite and the masses appreciate it.

When he arrived at the steps, Xiao Ding was still worried and couldn't help but talk, "Shopkeeper Qi, you will be there later..."

"I know." Qi Xiang laughed and laughed: "I came to see the painting, not to be angry with him. Why are you so worried?"

"Cough..." Xiao Ding hesitated for a while and finally told the truth: "Shopkeeper Qi, I'm not worried. I heard that Young Master Zhu has a changeable personality and is capricious."

"He was so happy that he was generous and generous. He was not stingy in rewarding him. But if he was unhappy, he immediately turned against him and threw the person into Taihu Lake..."

Xiao Ding sighed lightly: "The style of a playboy is famously spoiled and difficult to serve."

"Hmm?" Qi Xiang frowned: "Why didn't you say it before you come?"

Xiao Ding smiled awkwardly and stammered and avoided talking.

Qi Xiang gave him a blank look and naturally understood his little thoughts. The reason why he didn't say that was nothing more than not wanting to offend Zhu Qiao, and he even had the idea of ​​getting a commission.

Knowing that Qi Xiang was unhappy, Xiao Ding quickly remedyed and said, "Shopkeeper Qi, you don't have to think too much. Just look at the painting carefully. Leave the other things to me."

While speaking, Xiao Ding quickly went up the steps and turned around and smiled: "Shopkeeper Qi, let's go in, don't let Young Master Zhu wait any longer..."

At this time, Qi Xiang was too lazy to bother with him, so she followed him into the villa.

When I entered the door, a row of wide screens immediately caught my eye.

Qi Xiang looked at it intently and saw that the frame of the screen was a slightly black colored wood, which looked like a black rosewood. The screen was snow-white silk cloth.

On the plain silk, there are embroidered statues.

The Twelve Beauties of Jinling, each with enchanting and graceful beauties, embroidered and painted on the screen in different positions, is very exquisite and gorgeous, leaving a deep impression on people.

Bypassing the screen, there is a spacious living room.

There is no need to say much about the luxury of the living room, anyway, it can definitely be described as magnificent.

At this moment, a young man with a round face, a watermelon cap hairstyle, and a little handsome, sitting carelessly in a Grand Master chair. He crossed his legs and held a small and exquisite teapot with his right hand, looking leisurely and contented.

In an instant, Xiao Ding showed a brighter smile than flowers on his face, nodded and bowed, "Mr. Zhu, we are here."

“…Why did you come?”

This young man was naturally the young master of the tea shop, Zhu Qiao. He glanced sideways, and his eyes passed by Xiao Ding and Qi Xiang without stopping at all. Then he picked up the teapot and took a sip.

"Mr. Zhu, it's not our fault. There's traffic jam on the road..." Xiao Ding explained with a smile.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and read the painting." Zhu Qiao curled her lips and said, "I'm busy and I don't have much time to talk nonsense with you."

"Yes, yes..." Xiao Ding nodded repeatedly, hoping that this was the case. After looking at the painting, he got the money, he immediately flicked the person.

This attitude is indeed a bit bad...

No wonder Xiao Ding repeatedly reminded him before entering the door.

"I knew I wouldn't come..." Qi Xiang frowned slightly, then laughed at herself and shook her head gently. There are no good things in this world that make money by standing.

"Shopkeeper Qi, come and see this painting." Xiao Ding waved his hand, and the scroll was placed on the table next to him.

Qi Xiang glanced at him and saw that the scroll was quite long, at least two feet.

The painting is rolled, with one axis having two feet, which is the width. Generally speaking, according to the ratio of the painting, the length of the scroll will definitely not be less than three feet.

Qi Xiang changed the picture in her mind and suddenly became more interested. Such a large-size painting is indeed rare.

"ah?"

At the same time, Xiao Ding untied the scroll, then carefully unfolded it and slowly spread it on the table. He looked down and suddenly exclaimed, as if shocked.

“What’s the situation?”

Qi Xiang's heart moved, and when she was curious, she couldn't help but walk over. When he approached, he was stunned: "What's going on? Why is this painting blank?"

The unfolded scroll is very long, at least four feet. From the appearance, the scroll is mounted very finely, with the mounting material of high-quality silk, soft and silky luster.

The paper with the heart is very delicate, with dense and white texture, and looks like a first-class quality paper.

"wrong……"
